Stephanie Bongiovi, 19, of Red Bank, N.J., was hospitalized after she overdosed on heroin at her Hamilton College dorm in New York on Nov. 14.

In an interview with US Magazine, the singer said he's still trying to make sense of what happened.

"I didn't have any sisters . . . There was no manual," Bon Jovi, 50, told the Associated Press Dec. 3. "So you bring her up the best you can, you surround her with hugs and kisses and know that she may eventually fall down."

Bongiovi and 21-year-old Ian Grant, also of Red Bank, were charged with drug possession. Both were issued tickets and ordered to appear in court at a later date.
